Never call her a liar.....

[Big Muddy]

I should have learned by now, never call Sandy a liar....even with most of the green leaves still on our trees, I just had to get in the woods with Sandy, this morning....she treed 6 squirrels, two reds and 4 blackies....I seldom shoot those because I want them to propogate.

I called Sandy a liar on two of the trees, but after a long wait, both squirrels finally showed themselves.....I put these two reds, both young males, in the freezer for squirrel and dumplings, when cold weather gets here.

We put in about 3 miles in four hours of walking, and we are both plum tuckered out....but, in a good way.

She's a little over 9 years old, now, but hasn't slowed up nearly as much as I have.

I don't have the photo skills of Hide, but it is what it is.

Our most common squirrel are the all blacks. We get visitors from other parts of the US and you'd think they saw Big Foot when they see their first black.
Hey Big Muddy are you over the drought yet ?

Yes, JB....it took 120 days to break it, but it is over....6-1/4 inches 10 days ago, over a 4 day period, from that messican hurricane, Patricia....then, another 3/4 inch this past weekend.

It was unbelievable, how fast all of it soaked into the soil.

Thanks for asking.

Good shooting!

ML hunting at the farm, it was so dry.......and the squirrels were so numerous.....that you couldn't hear anything but squirrels in the leaves. Hoping it's better on 11/14.

I've seen Jerry's black ones. Maybe some day he can come down here and see ours!

How'd your set up down in the Peedee holdup after the water sent down? I don't think u ever heard.

[Captain]

Only the shed survived. The 300 gallon minnow tank and chiller system l, table and chairs all went down river. The little bushhogging tractor was OK.

At least if it is deep enough it will make for good fish attractors....

You sure those aren't Fox squirrels? We call reds that are half that size.

[Big Muddy]

Yep, Fido, these are in fact fox squirrels....it's just a local terminology thing....we just call 'em either reds or blackies or grays, in my neck of the woods.

Nope, can't do it....your link refers to their scientific name, "Sciurus niger", and I don't wanna be accused of being racist, and saying the "N" word.

A racist in Mississippi? Perish the thought

Ha ha ha! Boy did I get an "education" shortly after moving to Mississippi! I was working (after school, Saturdays and summers) at a Cadillac/Buick/Pontiac/GMC (and later took on Opal) dealership. I was first approached by a fellow employee to join the KKK. Of course I'd HEARD of the KKK, but never thought I'd actually work/live in the midst of actual members! I thought it was just one of those obscure thingies you'd see mentioned on the news from time to time. Oh well.

Not long after that, I was asked by another employee if I wanted to join the John Birch Society. WTF? I was clueless and "thought" it was some sort of "bird watching club"! (I assume I was confusing it with the Audubon Society) When I asked for details, I received a real education! I began to wonder what sort of new world I'd moved to! Don't get me wrong, I LOVED Mississippi ... the wimmins were HOT and I probably had more fun there than anywhere I've ever lived.

BUT ... the KKK?? John Birch Society?? Heck, this was 1967 and I was only 15 years old!!!
